But Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, Amy Adams and Amber Heard managed to brighten up any lingering soggy spirits with a rainbow of stunning gowns on Sunday night.

American Hustle nominee Amy looked particularly eye catching in a plunging two toned Valentino red gown teamed with a chic braided updo while Reese Witherspoon cut a simple but sophisticated sight in a sleek Calvin Klein aqua sleeveless gown.

But Amber Heard plumped for a darker number, sporting a navy blue one shouldered Versace gown split to the thigh with her hair backcombed into an big updo.

 

The leading ladies seemed to manage to avoid getting their long gowns wet after the pipe sprayedwhat The Hollywood Reporter described as 'black sewage and water on the carpet.
Luckily, the spill was dealt with after around 15 minutes according to the report, with the Beverly Hills Fire Department finishing the job with air blowers and wet vacuums.

Accident-prone Jennifer Lawrence managed to avoid any huge mishaps following her infamous Oscars trip last year.
She sported her favourite Christian Dior, appearing in a strapless gown with black band detail. 'I decided to shock them all,' she sarcastically said of her choice of designer, after wearing Dior to all the major award ceremonies last year.

Central African Republic: Cannibal called 'Mad Dog' drags Muslim off bus, sets him alight and eats his leg 'to avenge murder of pregnant wife'

• The victim was attacked by a militia of around 20 machete-wielding men
• Ouandja Magloire - also known as Mad Dog - reportedly ate part of the man
• Witnesses did not intervene but filmed the attack on their mobile phones
• 'The scene made many people vomit and cry out in horror,' one witness said
• Sectarian violence has been rife recently in the Central African Republic

Horrific footage has emerged of a cannibal eating the leg of a Muslim slaughtered by a rampaging Christian mob in the Central African Republic.


The victim was hauled from a bus, battered and then stabbed before being set on fire in the capital city Bangui, according to the BBC.


In the aftermath of the incident, one of his attackers grabbed hold of his leg and then began to devour it.

The cannibal, Ouandja Magloire - who also calls himself ‘Mad Dog’ - told a BBC reporter that his action was revenge for the murders of his pregnant wife, his sister-in-law and her baby.

He claimed that Muslims were responsible and he was angry with them.   

‘Mad Dog’ spotted his victim on a minibus and gathered a crowd of about 20 Christian youths who forced the bus driver to stop.

Witnesses did not intervene but recorded the footage on mobile phones, including the act of cannibalism.

Witness Jean-Sylvestre Tchya told news agency AFP: 'One of the individuals took hold of an arm and went and bought some bread and starting chewing on the flesh, along with his bread.

'The scene made many people vomit, and some cried out in horror.'

Another witness, Alain Gbabobou, said he watched a man wrapped the head up and proclaim that he would 'feast on it'.

According to The Sunday Telegraph, this may not have been an isolated incident, with a source speaking of more than one person being eaten.

An aid worker told the paper: 'They were taking machetes to people and burning the bodies and eating them.'

 

 

Graphic: Christians attack muslims in sectarian violence in CAR

Sectarian violence in the Central African Republic (CAR) has been rife in the past month and flared up again following the resignation on Friday of president Michel Djotodia, the first Muslim to rule the Christian-majority nation.

So far it has claimed around 1,000 lives, with the reports of cannibalism bringing to mind the macabre tales associated with Jean Bedel Bokassa, who ruled the CAR with an iron fist between 1966 and 1979.

He was regarded by many as a brutal dictator and was accused of eating human flesh, incorporating it in meals for visiting officials and feeding slain opponents to animals.

He died in 1996 and received a posthumous pardon in 2010.

Some Christian fighters believe that human flesh makes them invincible and put chunks of it in amulets that they wear.

Kim Kardashian 'in tears' over taking Kanye West's surname ......''She will be known as Kim West. My wife will bear my name only!" - Kanye West insists

Rap-star Kanye West has reportedly insisted his fiancee drop her famous last name when they tie the knot


Down time: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West get food to go in Beverly Hills

She's built an empire on her name but reality star Kim Kardashian could be set to drop her surname when she weds rapper Kanye West.

According to the National Enquirer magazine, Kanye has insisted Kim drop 'Kardashian' entirely when they tie the knot.

The glamorous star previously said she will be known as Kim Kardashian-West.

The spat with rapper Kanye apparently caused upset among Kim's family including mother Kris during a recent get-together.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Everyone at the table gave a thumbs up, except for Kanye.

"He sat quiet and stern-faced, then blurted forcefully, 'She will be known as Kim West. My wife will bear my name only!"

The source added: "By the end of the night Kim was in tears because all the way home he kept ranting that he was furious about her even considering to keep the Kardashian name."

Kimye, who got engaged in October, are parents to seven-month-old daughter North, known as Nori.

They have recently been snapped enjoying a festive break on the slopes with family in Utah.

Girls speak out against the harmful tradition of Breast Ironing in Cameroon

If given a safe environment and platform to assert themselves, girls will lead the fight to overcome breast ironing. Photograph: Tobin Jones/AFP/Getty Images


Elizabeth Mbu kept her secret for 16 years. Aged 11, her mother kneaded her naked, developing breasts with a hot stone twice a week to stop them growing. "Each time I cried as it was really painful," she says. "I didn't understand what was going on, but it was very difficult to speak about." Her mother continued the practice for a year, causing permanent damage.

Now aged 29, Elizabeth is a member of Came women and girls development organisation (Came W&G), which encourages girls to advocate against the practice of breast ironing in Cameroon. Research from 2006 suggests it affects 24% of Cameroonian girls as young as nine. Yet the practice is a closely guarded secret between mothers and daughters. "Mothers say it's normal to do it, because it prevents the girl getting pregnant early and dropping out of school, or being raped," explains Elizabeth. "When they see their girl growing breasts, they think they will attract boys – they are protecting their girls."

Mothers' concerns about teenage pregnancy are not unfounded. A UN Population Fund report found 30% of girls in Cameroon aged 20 to 24 surveyed in 2010 had given birth before they were 18. Only 39% enrol in secondary education.

Came W&G focuses on empowering girls to break their silence. Elizabeth and others organise community meetings in the capital Yaoundé, where they share their physical and mental traumas. The group lobbies traditional leaders and government representatives for change, and carries out door-knocking to persuade mothers and young victims. "It's not an easy thing to talk about publicly," says Elizabeth. "At the beginning I was nervous and cried. Girls are afraid to talk because of how people will see them or talk about their parents. But when they see you explaining your situation they get courage."

Breast-ironing victim Nchang Kazua, 28, campaigns for Came W&G in Bamenda. "Mothers are often bitter about us telling them it's bad because they think it's traditional," she explains. "The girls' testimonies can convince them of the future damage the action will cause." As well as scarring from burning-hot stones or pestles, women report problems with breastfeeding and a loss of confidence.

Came W&G's chair Margaret Nyuydzewira says mobilising younger generations is key to ending breast ironing. She wants to break into the women's associations common in Cameroonian society that help spread the practice. "We need to empower young girls to talk, advocate and sensitise the mothers, as well as traditional leaders to make laws banning breast ironing," she says.

Nyuydzewira wants to set up groups in Cameroon's 10 regions. She needs more funding to deliver advocacy training, but finds it hard to gain support. Nyuydzewira compares the situation to progress on female genital mutilation (FGM). "Look at the resources now committed for FGM – but is still has a long way to go," she says. "With breast ironing we have not even started yet. I tell the girls – you are not going to see results now, but as you keep talking things will change."

Came W&G is one of few organisations challenging breast ironing in Cameroon. Plan International works with girls on other advocacy projects. Its local PR and communication advisor Jaire Moutcheu says girls speaking publicly about issues such as early childhood marriage and rape have a strong impact. "It's down to those girls' testimonies that we were able to reinforce our relationship with the ministry of women's empowerment and family last year," she says. Following an event to mark the International Day of the Girl Child in 2012, the Cameroonian government department signed a joint action agreement with Plan. "The testimonies enabled them to understand that our work in the field is concrete," says Moutcheu.

She advises other NGOs to talk through girls' testimonies with them in detail before public events, and also to gain parental consent and arrange meetings with rights advisors and psycho-social support workers.

The youth outreach programme also focuses on empowering Cameroonian girls. Partnered with charity VSO, it provides civic education and mentoring to encourage women's participation. Programme officer Patience Agwenjang says parents can hinder girl's participation in such programmes. "They fear they will become rebels," she says. "Most of the girls receive insults or intimidation while carrying out public engagements." However, Agwenjang says by continuing the training, girls improve their communication skills and can assert themselves.

One mother says Came W&G's young advocates have already convinced her. "When I found out breast ironing was wrong, I told my daughter I was trying to do the right thing," says Magdalen Obi from Mutengene, who joined Came W&G as a result. "She understood and is not angry with me." Mother and daughter now share their story with other women by giving talks to local organisations and groups. "We tell them this is the wrong thing to do," she says.

Wife of a Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail gives birth to baby from sperm smuggled into Gaza

The wife of a Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail gave birth on Friday to a boy born from sperm smuggled into Gaza, her family said, the first successful pregnancy of its kind in the embattled coastal enclave.

The procedure follows several similar cases last year in the West Bank, and Palestinians view such births as an act of defiance against Israel's jail policies.

"I am tired and very, very happy," said mother Hana al-Za'anin, hours after baby al-Hassan was delivered. Speaking from a hospital bed in Gaza City, she told Reuters that Israel had banned her from visiting her husband since his arrest in 2006, citing unspecified "security reasons."

Most of Gaza's 1.8 million people are barred from entering Israel for the same reason, although it allows some merchants and seriously ill people to enter.

Gaza has been run by the Islamist group Hamas since 2007. Israel has enforced a blockade on the territory and has fought two wars in the territory since the party took control.

Al-Za'anin declined to say how the sperm was conveyed out of prison, but said its journey to a medical lab in Gaza, where two specialists were waiting for it, took about six hours.

Her husband, Tamer, was arrested in an Israeli army incursion into the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun and jailed for 12 years for belonging to the Islamic Jihad militant group. "Today a hero was born to a hero," the prisoner's 22-year-old brother Tareq, a hairdresser, said.

Israel regards 5,000 or so Palestinian prisoners in its jails, many imprisoned for killing civilians, as terrorists.

Doctors Pull Cockroach From Man's Ear

Don't bug out, but I think you have a large cockroach in your ear canal ...

Doctors in Australia came to the aid of a man this week who realized a large cockroach had crawled into his ear. Hendrik Helmer, of Darwin, Australia, told radio station 105.7 ABC Darwin he first noticed something was wrong when he woke up early in the morning with acute pain in his right ear.

Somehow, Helmer sensed a creepy crawler was to blame, although he wasn't yet sure exactly what it was.

"I was hoping it was not a poisonous spider," Helmer told the station. "I was hoping it didn't bite me."

As the pain worsened, Helmer attempted first to suck the creature out with a vacuum cleaner, and then to flush it out with water.

"Whatever was in my ear didn't like it at all," he noted.

Helmer eventually gave up and rushed to the Royal Darwin Hospital, where he was forced to wait 10 extremely painful minutes for the creature to die before a doctor could extract it.





"They said they had never pulled an insect this large out of someone's ear," Helmer told 105.7 ABC Darwin.

While horrifying, Helmer's experience is not unique. Following a case last year where doctors found mites and mite eggs in a 70-year-old Taiwanese man's ear, Dr. Ian Storper, director of otology at the New York Head & Neck Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, told Fox News that he's seen multiple cases of in-ear cockroaches over the years.

"It's much more common to see a cockroach in the ear," Storper told Fox, claiming to have seen a "few dozen" such cases over his career. Apparently, part of the problem is that the bugs often have little trouble getting into the ear, but then are unable to walk backwards in order to get out.

Strangely, Helmer's experience is actually quite typical of this situation, according to another doctor who spoke with Fox News.

"Patients with cockroaches in their ear always show up at 2 a.m.," Dr. Richard Nelson, vice chair of emergency medicine at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Fox. "They wake up with sudden onset of ear pain."

Helmer should probably be thankful his midnight invader was only a cockroach. Last August, photos surfaced online of a Chinese patient who went to the hospital complaining of an itchy ear, only to discover that a spider had been living in there for five days.Shudder....

Lose weight with the HAND DIET: Measure food portions using just your fingers, thumbs and palm

• A portion of meat should be no bigger than the palm of your hand
• Carbs such as pasta should be no bigger than a clenched fist
• A serving of butter is the size of a fingertip, cheese less than two fingers
• Recent research found portion sizes have doubled in 20 years
• Many people eat FIVE times the recommended serving of pasta, for example

 If you like to pile your plate high, then this revealing graphic is likely to depress you. But it could also help you lose weight on the so-called 'hand diet'.
It shows exactly how much of certain foods we should be eating - and it's probably a lot less than you think.
Experts say that a lack of portion control is one of the main reasons so many of us are overweight - with many of us eating way more than we should be.

Experts say that a lack of portion control is one of the main reasons so many of us are overweight - with many of us eating way more than we should be

For instance, a portion of meat should be no bigger than the palm of your hand - and carbs no bigger than a clenched fist.
When it comes to butter, the maximum amount you should be spreading on a slice of bread is the size of a finger tip.
The information comes from the website Guard Your Health.
The American Cancer Society says that many of us regularly eat way bigger portions than we should - for example, up to five times the recommended portion size of pasta.
Research has continually shown that when bigger portions are served, we eat them, because of the 'must clear plate' mentality.

HOW NORMAL PORTION SIZES LOOK

•    1 oz. meat: size of a matchbox
•    3 oz. meat: size of a deck of cards or bar of soap -- the recommended portion for a meal

•    8 oz. meat: size of a thin paperback book

•    3 oz. fish: size of a cheque book

•    1 oz. cheese: size of 4 dice

•    Medium potato: size of a computer mouse

•    2 tbs. peanut butter: a ping pong ball

•    ½ cup pasta: size of a tennis ball

•    Average bagel: size of a hockey puck

Even a decade ago, researchers at New York University's Department of Nutrition and Food Studies found that food portions were consistently larger than in previous years.

 

They found that cookies were as much as seven times standard portion sizes, while muffins weighed in at over three times standard portion sizes.
In their book, The Gastric Mind Band, Martin and Marion Shirran provide eye-opening examples of how portion control can make a huge difference to the waistline.
They say: 'Spread butter on your toast, but be aware that a teaspoon of ­butter (enough for a thin layer) is 37 ­calories, but a ­tablespoon (a ­generous covering) is three times as much (111 calories).
'Put dressing on your salad, but learn to weight the vinegar in favour of the oil. A teaspoon of oil may be 45 ­calories, but a tablespoon is 135. That one extra tablespoon of oil every day amounts to a stone weight gain over a year.
'Switch to sweetener in your tea or ­coffee. Cutting out two spoons of sugar in your tea three times a day creates an annual calorie deficit of 37,000 calories, which could be enough to shed more than 11lb.

Kathleen Zelman, Director of Nutrition for the health website WebMD, has drawn up another way to manage portion sizes

'Have ice cream occasionally, but just one scoop (about 150 calories) and never eat it straight from the tub. Enjoy a few nuts with a drink, but stop at one or two (a small 4oz bag will set you back 600 calories).'
Kathleen Zelman, Director of Nutrition for the health website WebMD, has drawn up another way to manage portion sizes.
For example, she says that a pancake should be no bigger than a CD, a bagel should be the size of a can of tuna and a serving of mayonnaise the size of a poker chip.
A serving of chocolate should be the size of a dental floss package, a portion of hummus the size of a golf ball and a three-cup serving of popcorn the size of three baseballs.
Late last year the British Heart Foundation (BHF) warned that Britain’s supermarkets are ‘out of control’ when it comes to portion sizes.

 

 

Bagels have increased by 24 per cent in the last 20 years, while a curry ready meal is 53 per cent bigger

Despite the deepening obesity crisis portion sizes continue to rise, and are now double the size they were in 1993.
An average chicken curry and rice ready meal is now 53 per cent larger than in 1993, and a shepherd’s pie meal is about double the size.
Crumpets and garlic bread are from 20 to 30 per cent bigger now, while an average bagel has increased in size by 24 per cent.
To gain a pound in weight, a person need only consume an additional 3,500 calories and the massive increase in portion sizes explains why so many people are unwittingly putting on excess pounds.
As well as fuelling the growing obesity problem, the BHF said that oversized food portions were also contributing to heart disease, currently the UK's single biggest killer.

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina reveals she's tied the knot with 'brother' fiancé Nick Gordon

Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon have reportedly tied the knot.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston shared her happy news along with a photo of her hand over Nick's as the pair showed off their wedding bling.
'#HappilyMarried So #Inlove if you didn't get it the first time that is,' she informed her more than 129,000 followers.

'#HappilyMarried So #Inlove if you didn't get it the first time that is': Bobbi Kristina Brown revealed on Twitter on Thursday that she and finacé Nick Gordon have tied the knot

On-again, off-again: The couple - pictured here in November - were first engaged in October 2012, before calling time on their relationship and eventually reconciling and renewing their commitment in July 2013

The 20-year-old announced her engagement to her long-time friend in October 2012, during her family's short-lived Lifetime reality series The Houstons: On Our Own, which depicted the fallout from the legendary singer's death on February 11, 2012.
However, the couple called it quits soon after, before reconciling and recommitting to their engagement in July 2013.
'YES, we me nick are engaged. I'm tired of hearing people say "eww your engaged to your brother" or "if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this,"' Bobbi Kristina wrote on her Facebook page at the time.

'Just upgraded the ring and added two bands  #blingbling': On September 16, Nick revealed that he had added to his fiancée's already impressive custom-made Neil Lane sparkler

She was, of course, referring to the fact that 24-year-old Nick had lived with her and her mother and the pair were so close they shared a sibling-like bond - though the couple are in no way related.

Meanwhile, on September 16, Nick tweeted that he had 'just upgraded the ring and added two bands  #blingbling' along with a photo of his fiancée's impressive engagement ring - a custom-made Neil Lane sparkler.
The hefty diamond dazzler sits pride of place on the aspiring singer's ring finger in the sepia photo, which also reveals Nick's own simple bronze band.

The 20-year-old couldn't contain her smile as she showed off her upgraded bling on September 21

Sylvester Stallone quits Twitter to 'stay out of trouble'

 

 

Tweet that: Bruce Wilis and Sylvester Stallone
GETTY



Sylvester Stallone has stopped using Twitter to stay out of trouble.

The actor, 67, previously used the social networking site to have a pop at his former Expendables co-star Bruce Willis, 58, calling him “greedy” and “lazy”.

Now, following the outburst in August, he admits to taking a back seat because he doesn’t want to be “an idiot”.

His last tweet was on October 22.

Sylvester, who is starring in new film Grudge Match with Robert de Niro, said: “Everytime I use social media I really get in trouble.

"I think George Clooney says it best. You’ve got to be an idiot if you use Twitter and you wake up in the morning sober and you realise your career is over.

“You’ve got to be really really careful you dont think you’re a genius up there in the middle of the night.

“I’m just really into the iPhone, I’ve got to figure out how the camera works, people say why don’t you get an instagram but isn’t it for younger people?”

De Niro, 70, added: “I can text and email.”

WOMAN WITH SIZE MMM BREASTS CONTEMPLATES PROCEDURE TO GO UP TO SIZE QQQ

TLC

Lacey Wildd, 45, has Size MMM breasts and wants to got up to a Size QQQ.

At the age of 45, Lacey Wildd is proud to be plastic.

The former showgirl had her first breast augmentation 20 years ago and has increased her bust size far beyond what would be considered normal.

Last year, she wore a Size MMM bra, but she contemplates going up to a Size QQQ on an episode of "My Strange Addiction" airing Jan. 8 on TLC.

Wildd has spent $250,000 to surgically enhance her chest, but her ample bosom sometimes leaves her feeling like a boob.

"You know what's hilarious? I lose stuff in [my cleavage]," she says on the episode. "I had to go and buy the big phone because I would lose my other phone constantly inside there."

• Lacey Wildd
  TLC
  Wildd's breast implants are so massive that she had to get an "internal bra" surgery to make sure her skin could contain them.
• TLC
  Using social media, Wildd managed to get $23,000 in donations for a new operation. After the procedure, her breasts will weigh a whopping 42 pounds, according to SouthFlorida.com.
• TLC
  Wildd's large chest means she has to be careful when she cooks. If she has to bend over the stove, she risks burning herself so she can only put pots on the back burners.
• TLC
  Wildd's breasts aren't the only part of her body that is big. She says her booty is so large that she sometimes knocks down her daughter when bending over.
• TLC
  Wildd says the desire to go big is not about fame, but about leaving a legacy for her six children, according to the Daily Mail. "My goal was never to be famous. My goal was to be able to take care of them, to be able to support them," she said.
• TLC
  Wildd's 16-year-old daughter, Tori, doesn't think additional operations are necessary."I think she isn't really thinking about our opinions. What if she dies? Is she taking that into consideration?"
• TLC
  Wildd, whose real name is Paula Simonds, thinks her kids should see the big picture. "If I have triple M implants it will take me into the top five big breasted models in the world," she said last year. "There is a top five and then everybody else is below that. It will increase my fame and earning power considerably."

Controversial Lagos Pastor, Sign Fireman, Arrested Over Alleged Ritual Murder Of A Virgin Girl

caption: Pastor Sign Fireman

By Saharareporters, New York

      

Controversial Lagos miracle Pentecostal priest, Pastor Ofuche Ukoha (also known as) "Sign Fireman" has been implicated in a ritual murder scandal involving a boy in his church who strangled 12 year old teenage girl while trying to obtain feces from her for ritual purposes.

The disclosure of Pastor Fireman's involvement in the scandal was made by an eighteen year old boy paraded by the police in Lagos. The teenage suspect stated during the parade that he was sent on the ritual mission by Pastor Fireman.

He said he had always dreamt of becoming rich and had approached the pastor personally, after years of attending the church without his own financial miracle happening, Mr. Fireman reportedly told him the way to get his Sign for finance was to get the feces of a virgin girl. The suspect said Pastor Fireman promised him a reward of N100,000 for the assignment.

The suspect narrated how he sought and killed the 12 year old girl simply named "Bose", the daughter of poor lady on his street.

Confirming the incident to a Lagos correspondent this morning, Lagos Police PRO, Mrs. Ngozi Braide said Pastor Fireman was arrested on Tuesday five days after he was declared wanted by the police. She said investigation has commenced regarding his involvement.

She also said the outcome of the investigation would soon be made public.

With his church receiving hordes of miracle seekers every weekend, Pastor Fireman's church auditorium at Aguda, Surulere area of Lagos is reportedly notorious for using semi-nude female ushers.

The pastor was a subject of a UK-based Channel 4 documentary carried by journalist Seyi Rhodes of Channel 4's "Unreported World" in 2011.

How Anger Affects Your Health And Mind

Anger is a powerful emotion. If it isn’t handled appropriately, it may have destructive results for both you and your loved ones. Uncontrolled anger can lead to arguments, physical fights, physical abuse, assault and self-harm. On the other hand, well-managed anger can be a useful emotion that motivates you to make positive changes.

The physical effects

 Anger triggers the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response. Other emotions that trigger this response include fear, excitement and anxiety. The adrenal glands flood the body with stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. The brain shunts blood away from the gut and towards the muscles, in preparation for physical exertion. Heart rate, blood pressure and respiration increase, the body temperature rises and the skin perspires. The mind is sharpened and focused.

Health problems

The constant flood of stress chemicals and associated metabolic changes that accompany recurrent unmanaged anger can eventually cause harm to many different systems of the body. Some of the short and long-term health problems that have been linked to unmanaged anger include:

• Headache
• Digestion problems, such as abdominal pain
• Insomnia
• Increased anxiety
• Depression
• High blood pressure
• Skin problems, such as eczema
• Heart attack
• Stroke.

 

Fight, Flight…or Die?

When anger kicks in, your body readies itself to respond to a perceived threat. Your muscles tense…your digestive processes stop…and certain brain centers start firing in ways that alter your brain chemistry.

These functions reflect our genetically coded response to danger. Unfortunately, nowadays, these strong chemical reactions are inappropriately triggered by minor annoyances—like getting cut off in traffic or being spoken to unkindly.
 
For modern humans, even thinking about a stressful situation can spark a full-blown “fight-or-flight” response.

In fight-or-flight, your body’s resources mobilize for immediate physical action. Any bodily function not directly related to fighting or fleeing is put on hold, including:

• Digestion
• Assimilation
• Cell production
• Body maintenance
• Circulation (except to the skeletal muscles involved in the fight-or-flight process)
• Healing
• Immunological defenses

Long-Term Consequences from a Moment of Fury

The health consequences of continual fight-or-flight response can be severe. According to Dr. Mercola, a highly regarded and widely published natural health practitioner, our automatic anger response leads to health problems like:

• Headaches
• Digestive imbalances
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Depression
• High blood pressure
• Skin problems, including eczema
• Heart attack
• Stroke

Is Your Anger Putting You At Risk for Heart Problems?

Your heart is especially vulnerable to the deadly effects of anger and its consequences. Researchers at Washington State University conducted a study with participants 50 and older.

Those with explosive tempers were significantly more likely to have arterial calcium deposits—a primary indicator of heart attack risk—than those who didn’t.

Study author Bruce Wright, M.D., says lashing out in anger can make stress hormones surge and injure blood vessel linings. But repressing anger is also dangerous.

In fact, Dr. Johan Denollet of the Tilburg University in the Netherlands headed a study of heart disease patients last year—and found that holding in your anger triples your risk of heart attack!

Unhelpful ways to deal with anger

Many people express their anger in inappropriate and harmful ways, including:

• Anger explosions – some people have very little control over their anger and tend to explode in rages. Raging anger may lead to physical abuse or violence. A person who doesn’t control their temper can isolate themselves from family and friends. Some people who fly into rages have low self-esteem, and use their anger as a way to manipulate others and feel powerful.

• Anger repression – some people consider that anger is an inappropriate or ‘bad’ emotion, and choose to suppress it. However, bottled anger often turns into depression and anxiety. Some people vent their bottled anger at innocent parties, such as children or pets.

Expressing anger in healthy ways

Suggestions on how to express your anger in healthy ways include:

• If you feel out of control, walk away from the situation temporarily, until you cool down.
• Recognise and accept the emotion as normal and part of life.
• Try to pinpoint the exact reasons why you feel angry.
• Once you have identified the problem, consider coming up with different strategies on how to remedy the situation.
• Do something physical, such as going for a run or playing sport.

Suggestions for long-term anger management

The way you typically express anger may take some time to modify. Suggestions include:

• Keep a diary of your anger outbursts, to try and understand how and why you get mad.
• Consider assertiveness training, or learning about techniques of conflict resolution.
• Learn relaxation techniques, such as meditation or yoga.
• See a counsellor or psychologist if you still feel angry about events that occurred in your past.
• Take regular exercise.

The benefits of regular exercise in mood management

People who are stressed are more likely to experience anger. Numerous worldwide studies have documented that regular exercise can improve mood and reduce stress levels. The effect may be twofold: physical exertion burns up stress chemicals, and it also boosts production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters in the brain, including endorphins and catecholamines.

Teaching children how to express anger

Expressing anger appropriately is a learned behaviour. Suggestions on helping your child to deal with strong feelings include:

• Lead by example.
• Let them know that anger is natural and should be expressed.
• Treat your child’s feelings with respect.
• Teach practical problem-solving skills.
• Encourage open and honest communication in the home.
• Allow them to express their anger in appropriate ways.
• Explain the difference between aggression and anger.
• Punish aggression or violence, but not appropriately expressed anger.
• Teach your child different ways of calming and soothing themselves.

Where to get help

• Your doctor
• Counsellor

Things to remember

• The long-term physical effects of uncontrolled anger include increased anxiety, high blood pressure and headache.
• Anger is a positive and useful emotion, if it is expressed appropriately.
• Long-term strategies for anger management include regular physical exercise, learning relaxation techniques and counselling.

Caught on camera: Jealous friend throws acid on Naomi Oni's face... then taunted her online by asking: "Who looks like a horror film character now?" (VIDEO)

Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that Konye was jealous about Naomi's looks, and she was taunted when the victim compared her to the horror movie character.

 

Seeking revenge, she set out to 'ruin Naomi's looks' and confessed to confidents she planned to attack her friend with acid, jurors heard.
Kamilah Andrews, a friend of Konye, told police she had threatened to attack Naomi with acid so she would know 'how it feels' to feel bad about her appearance.
Gareth Patterson, prosecuting, said: 'Kamilah states that the defendant was insecure about her looks and that Naomi had insulted her.

'It involves cannibal characters and disfigured characters, one in particular called a Wrong Turn.
'And Naomi had been rude to the defendant and said she looked like a Wrong Turn, that particular insult stung Mary Konye.
'Kamilah states that the defendant would complain that the victim would never compliment her about her looks.

'Kamilah Andrews states that this greatly affected the defendant, because she admired Naomi, almost to the point of obsession.'
He told jurors that Konye, who studied business and finance at Hertfordshire University and had known Naomi since their school days, threatened to seek revenge by disfiguring her friend.
Mr Patterson said: 'Kamilah states that the defendant would repeatedly say what she would like to do to Naomi.
'She states that the defendant would say 'What if I bought acid and threw it in her face, so she would know how she makes me feel?'
'Kamilah also states that the defendant told her she had joked to others about throwing acid on someone and that someone had suggested to the defendant that she should wear a 'nijab' [sic] so the police could not identify her.
'Following the attack on the victim Kamilah saw that the defendant had updated her profile on 'WhatsApp'.
